Can you believe we’re at 100 episodes?! It’s been a slow and steady process over the past 3+ years, but consistency sure pays off! I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for listening and continuing to support me through this shift in my career from CrossFit Games athlete, to medical student, and now soon-to-be family medicine physician.

This podcast has been such a rewarding outlet for me to continue to highlight some amazing individuals in the world and share their stories and discoveries with all of you, in the hopes that their insights might positively impact your lives as well.

I wanted to do something special to celebrate this milestone, and although we have had some INCREDIBLE guests on the show over the past 3 years, it just felt like this was the appropriate time to have a more intimate conversation between me and YOU with a Q+A style episode.

In this episode we discuss:

CrossFit Health and the CFMDL1: what it is, how I’m involved, and how you can get involved

My take on the change in this year’s CrossFit Games format

The need to work towards creative solutions so that low-income patients and patients with serious medical conditions can get involved in CrossFit

Functional Medicine: what it is and how I became exposed to it

Ways students and practitioners can get involved with Functional Medicine

How to incorporate Functional Medicine into a standard medical practice

The power of group visits to make our healthcare model work

How we can take control of our own health and partner with a like-minded practitioner

Making Functional Medicine more financially accessible

My take on finding the healthiest way to eat given the conflicting dietary advice out there
